Cinnamon Buns
Here's a great recipe I found for Cinnamon Buns. They are so yummy that you'll have to fight to get one.
(The method is more or less the same as for Chelsea Buns)
Dough
600g flour
1 packet dried yeast
150g pumpkin purée (cut pumpkin into cubes and cook 5mins in the microwave, then mash it with a fork)
200ml warm milk
60g melted margarine
1 tbsp sugar
1 1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp nutmeg
Filling
3 tbsp white sugar
3 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp flour
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp margarine
White Glaze
150g icing sugar
1 tbsp hot water
I used my bread machine to make the dough and let it rise, but if you don't have one, you can also do it by hand.
Mix together all the ingredients for the dough and knead on a floured surface for about 8 minutes. Put back into the bowl and leave in a warm place to rise (about 45 mins)
Once risen, turn out onto a floured surface and push out the air. Roll out into a large rectangle.
In a bowl, mix together the ingredients for the filling.
Dot the filling all over the surface.
Roll up into a long sausage shape. Cut into 12 pieces and place in a baking tray. Cover with cling film, or a damp tea towel, and leave to rise for about 30mins. They should double in size.
Place in the oven at 180°C and cook for about 20mins.
Leave to cool in the tin for 10 mins. Meanwhile, mix the icing sugar with hot water.
Poor over the buns making a squiggly effect. (My picture doesn't have the white glaze squiggles as my girls don't appreciate white icing. I added 1/2 tbsp extra water so that the glaze was thinner)
Bon appetit!

Hi did you use the pumpkin puree as a replacement of egg

I never use egg in my Cinnamon Buns, it's a bread base and not brioche. But the pumpkin purée does make it moist
